#2Wait till this guy figures out that T-Mobile also stores his password in plain text.

#3Apparently to prevent paste. Their CheckEnter.js file has:
function keyDown(a) {
if (a.keyCode == 86) {
a.preventDefault()
}
}
Funny enough, elsewhere in their code, they do explicitly check for Ctrl & V/C.

#4why would you want to stop paste? don't mobile devices have things like keypass? (i don't own a smartphone, but paste all passwords on my computers).

I wonder if it's a bad idea to disclaim that you store passwords in plain text (when you actually use PBKDF2 or something) to trick users into making more secure passwords.

#6Their entire site is a really bad example of ASP.NET development. As someone who knows the technology well, it can make great sites. It just rarely does.
I like my T Mobile service but there's something odd with their backend systems and/or customer service. I logged in to disable their "WebGuard" service that seemed to be blocking pages at random. It required address and social security verification, but I couldn't get it to verify my details.
I called, and the customer service agent hopefully told me that my address didn't exist. I live in the middle of New York, and I've never had this issue before. I can't help but wonder what crazy verification system they're using.

#7Try using special characters - It will just omit some special characters and save the password with that character omitted. And yes, T-mobile sent back my password in clear-text, and that's how i know.

Personally, that'd steer me away.

It'd be terrible PR though

The type of users that use insecure passwords probably don't care about or understand the implications of plain text passwords.
